It’s time for Monday Night Football to bedazzle our television screens once more as we look forward to Blackpool hosting West Brom. Not many people would have expected that sentiment even at the beginning of the season, but this has the making of a great game, and if the past is any indication we’ll be in for a hum dinger of a game as the two respective fixtures last season saw 10 goals in total.

Nil-nil is clearly on the cards then now that’s jinxed, and the team news let’s us know that Charlie Adam has recovered from his stitched up ankle to pass muster for Blackpool while Elliot Grandin comes in for Marlon Harewood. On the back of his two goal haul at Leicester (damn him), Simon Cox comes in with Pablo Ibanez for the injured duo of James Morrison and Jonas Olsson for the traveling West Brom. Peter Odemwingie is nowhere to be seen, still…

Blackpool XI: Gilks; Eardley, Evatt, Cathcart, Crainey; Vaughan, Adam, Grandin; Taylor-Fletcher, Varney, Campbell

West Brom XI: Carson; Jara, Tamas, Ibanez, Shorey; Scharner, Mulumbu; Brunt, Cox, Thomas; Fortuné

If you’re looking for some matchday banter then join our floodlight Dugout Discussion as West Brom look to break into the Champions League places (not a typo) and Blackpool look for their first home victory of the season.

      yeah they worked hard and put effort in. However they still lost the game. Shouldn't of been down to 9 men in the 1st place so therefore they don't dserve any anyway. Stop complaining.

        Complain is when you have something to gain from that. I have nothing to gain so my comments are more a statement than a complain.

        Even way, a comment from a guy with no link to his team immediately loses 50% of its value as far as I am concerned.

        Take care

        Might not be the right result but thats where they come from, press association stats. Why do you think Arteta and Fabregas get 3 most weeks. Check the stats and you will see Adam had most touches.

    I don't know why people are so surprised about the BPs. Agreed that Mulumbu deserved at least one but at the end of the day West Brom lost and for most of the match were pegged back in their own half.

    Sure they worked hard but they didn't do (that) much.
